Subject: JOB ANNOUNCE: Production Posistion for Making Contact & NRP

from Lisa Rudman, Executive Director NRP [sorry for cross-postings]

Hello friends: Back in July Phillip Babich, Managing Producer, announced his
desire to try new things after 7 great years at the National Radio Project
and "Making Contact." Since then we've been engaged in restructuring the
roles in the Prod. Dept. We'll miss Phillip --- and we're asking him to
join our great pool of freelance producers so you'll probably still hear him
on our programs.

We're also excited about searching for someone to join production staffer
Aimee Pomerleau. Aimee is being promoted to Director of Production and
Training after this past year of fabulous work. This new hire (below)
along with
Aimee, other staff, volunteers, interns, and freelance journalists, will be
able to build on our great past and helping us to propell into the future of
Making Contact, ElectionWatch'04 and our other projects! Thanks for
spreading the word. --Lisa Rudman, Executive Director NRP
